We've waited long enough for game characters that represent us. Don't keep waiting -- make your own damn game! Rob will show some diverse example games from folks who decided to tell their own personal stories in video game form. You'll also learn about some tools that make it easy to get started. In fact, if all goes well, we'll make a short game during the session! To top it all of, Rob will share his own secret strategies for making great queer games to help jumpstart your own creative ideas.

Rob currently works with the Cardboard team at Google prototyping new concepts in virtual reality. He's also the Founder and CEO of Lazy 8 Studios, best known for its award-winning indie games that include Cogs and Extrasolar. In this latter title, which launched in 2014, Rob served as the lead designer and also acted as one of the characters within a fictional space exploration company.
